What political union? The 28 states are still independent countries, last time I heard. There are left-wing, right-wing, populist and a whole cornucopia of different regimes in Europe and I see no diminution of nationalism in any country that defends its national identity. The part of your post I quoted is just a routine piece of mindless brexiteer nonsense. You just about fell short of accusing "unelected Brussels bureaucrats imposing laws on us." It's just nonsense. No significant changes to overall EU policy can be made while we are able to exercise our veto. We have a big say in the formulation of all major EU laws and regulations and have disagreed with a vanishingly small number that ever managed to come into force. The best you managed there was a veiled insinuation that there's corruption afoot. Something about poor auditing. There may well be some poor financial management (up there with promising a billion to a bunch of terrorist sympathisers I suppose, or even wasting public money on a referendum and an ill-judged general election), but if you have evidence of deliberate EU corruption let's be having it.
